News/Article The PS5 system itself is running on pc

Recently, we have seen massive developments in PS5 emulators (such as shadPS4 and Kyty), and how rapidly they have progressed in a short period.

​Now, developers have successfully booted the actual PS5 system software on PC.

​If this momentum continues in the future, it will eventually allow players to run PS5 exclusives directly on PC, marking the end of the era of console exclusivity.

I do music composition for videos and have hit a hard wall at 32GB. I wanted to purchase 96 or 128 but I had to settle for $1300 for 64. Bloody robbery.

True, things have gotten crazy. My main hobbies are all expensive (firearms, pc gaming and cycling) the only hobby that’s gotten cheaper the past year or two with better options atm is Cycling 😢.

Yes, I agree, depending on the games you play, one platform will be preferable to another according to your needs and desires, I've been playing on both for over 20 years, but personally I prefer the console for several reasons
